Wow. I definitely wasn't expecting awesome Jamaican food in Montgomery!
The restaurant is very colorful, and has good tunes echoing through out. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant to talk with.
I went simple, Jammin' jerk chicken (all dark meat) with plantains and collard greens. Defiantly the right choice. The chicken was perfect, and seasoned very well with jerk sauce on the side. The greens also well cooked, and just the right amount of salt. The plantains add the right about of sweetness to balance the savoriness of both the chicken and greens.
I have a couple more days in the area and returning is high on my list. -

When my sister worked at Maxwell AFB, she had mentioned Island Delight was incredible, transcending most places in Alabama. I happened to have business around there and learned the hard way that the original location was closed...so I drive on over to downtown to dine.
The food here was absolutely worth the detour - I feel bad for the folks at Maxwell who can't just pop by for a quick meal now! I ordered the oxtails, which came with plantains, and man...so satisfying. I picked greens and rice & beans as my sides, and everything together in one bite was dynamite. Sweet, salty, textural, fabulous!
I also immensely appreciate offering vegan options, which can be hard to find in the South, much less the islands. I periodically dine veg, so it's great to have those options readily available.
Definitely worth stopping by for an excellent meal in Montgomery! -

So impressed with this place which is great since I didn't expect it. I love a good surprise. I had the goat curry with greens and plantains. The goat was done so well with a great portion size for a lunch portion. You only get 2 plantains which is slightly disproportionate to the greens and rice but that's just a slight criticism. The plantains should be fried a lil longer because it seemed slightly undercooked.

Authentic Carribean Flavors in downtown Montgomery. Very professional service and timely delivery of food. Curry goat was a little salty but otherwise very tasty food. There is a limited variety of ethnic cuisine in Montgomery and so this was a delight! We will be back, thank you Island Delight!

This place is A-OK, but Savanna's nearby has much better jerk chicken and jollof rice. The food I had here was decent. The oxtail was really good, but the rice and sides left more to be desired. The curry chicken was sort of dry, and my other co-workers who got the red snapper said they could tell the fish was frozen and wasn't very fresh. It's one of the few things open later in downtown Montgomery, so it's one of the better options, but if Savanna's is open, that's definitely the better place to go.
